tirams / dotfiles

tirams's configuration files (mostly for me, but you may find something interesting)

Paul's dotfiles

This repo is mostly for me but you're welcome to make suggestions. mathias's readme is the project to fork. I'm mostly catching up to him, @alrra, @paulmillr, @gf3.

My basic new machine setup is captured in setup-a-new-machine.sh which adds homebrew, z, nave, etc.

private config

Toss it into a file called .extra which you do not commit to this repo and just keep in your ~/

I do something nice with my PATH there:

# PATH like a bawss
      PATH=/opt/local/bin
PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/sbin
PATH=$PATH:/bin
PATH=$PATH:~/.rvm/bin
PATH=$PATH:~/code/git-friendly
# ...

export PATH

Syntax highlighting

…is really important. even for these files.

Install Dotfiles Syntax Highlighting via Sublime Text 2 Package Control

Running sync copies from your dotfiles repo into ~/. I'd prefer to do proper symlink but haven't gotten that far yet.

./sync.sh

To update later on, just run the sync again.
